Holy or Wholly Jesus?

 So over break i have finally had time to actually do some reading that has nothing do with school but is actually for my own interest. The first book i happened to grab off my shelf is one that i bought when i was up at Forest Home College camp at the beginning of this semester. (Oh how that seems like just last week!) The book is called Wholly Jesus A Surprising Approach To Wholeness and Why It Matters. The book attempts to discover a new understanding of a complete Redeemer and explains how that provides a road map to the wholeness that so many people are searching for. A completeness that brings our body, mind and spirit into harmony with the full character of God's love. There are so many people out there in this world spending millions of dollars a year in attempts to reach physical and mental soundness, why is this when we as followers of Christ have the real deal, we have the ultimate Jesus who died on a cross just for that reason, so that we could be made whole, complete. Why does the church so often make Jesus out to be less then He really is, why do we try and hide or de-shine this great light we have, when it is exactly what people are looking for. We have to first as believers come to an understanding of Christ's full message before we can share this illuminating truth of wholeness with those desperate for Him, that don;t have any clue what they are looking for.
